Murder for Two October 19th, 2024

Casting Call

We are casting 2 actors for our upcoming production of Murder for Two by Joe Kinosian and Kellen Blair.

A high-energy musical whodunit, Murder For Two is a zany blend of classical musical comedy and madcap murder mystery with a twist. Two actors play thirteen characters… with a piano. 

When famous novelist Arthur Whitney is found dead at his birthday party, it’s time to call in the detectives. The only problem is, they’re out of town. Enter Officer Marcus Moscowicz, a neighbourhood cop desperate to climb the ranks. With the clock ticking, it’s up to Marcus to solve the crime before the real detective arrives.

Gloriously silly, devilishly clever and fantastically funny you won’t want to miss this killer musical comedy! The musical premiered at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre in 2011, winning the Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Musical. It ran off-Broadway 2013-14, where it was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical and an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical. In 2022, the musical’s setting was relocated to the UK by Barn Theatre, receiving outstanding reviews from audiences and critics alike.
